When I read the Complete Jewish Bible it speaks of Trust in the Words of Yeshua, it speaks of Trust in God.  When we read the stories of the bible we can see how God can be trusted and relied upon to help us in our times of trouble.  When we call out to him we are hoping that he will hear us, in one thing we can really trust that he does hear us.  However we do not always trust that he is going to be there therefore our prayers go on unheard, because the Word does say you cannot be double minded about things when it comes to asking God for anything.  Whether it is help in your health, wealth or family – it is only when you truly start to TRUST GOD – not just believe.

His Word and Works have all been proved to be Trustworthy – for every prophecy that has been fore seen is in the process of unfolding before our very eyes.

Today’s world is very much like the times of Noah and the people are behaving in very  much the way they did in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Is it any wonder we are living through some crises times, yet it is going to get worse unless we do something about it, but what can we do – I hear you say – it is simple – confess your unbelief and lack of Trust in the almighty God – he is the only one that can turn things round.  It is only when we start to live His way and keep His Holy days and His commandments that we are really going to be able live in Peace and Happiness. 

Yeshua/Jesus said that unless we focus on him and follow his example and keep Gods Commandments and live accordingly then we shall be lost, destroyed.

The Bible is very clear on this matter – for in the Old Scriptures you can see that there were times when Isreal prospered when it was obedient to God’s teachings and commandments – yet when it choose to follow its own path away from God – spurning God and His teachings and following after the ways of the nations around, incorporating the teachings and traditions of the nations they went into severe decline and where in fact dispersed away from God – God cut them off until they were given a chance to Repent and Turn Back to the Father.

Yeshua/Jesus came to give us the opportunity to Come back to the Father’s ways to be given the hope of eternal life, to live our lives in peace with our neighbours by keeping the Commandments and following his example.

God gave us a plan to follow when he gave them to Moses and he gave Moses the plan of feast days which were to carried out by all mankind to the Glory of God – it was not just given to the Jews as people are so insistently saying because amongst the Jews also came foreigners out of Egypt and they were there with the Isrealites in the desert when Moses came down and they were givne a choice just as the Isrealites to follow them or be destroyed just as God said he would do in Deuteronomy – when we were given the choice to follow Gods ways and live and live abundantly lives or follow the way of man which is to reject God and his teachings and end up as the society is today – well I guess from looking around us today we can see where that has got us.

So, with Yeshua/Jesus we are given a chance to repent and return to Gods ways.  Yet because of the socalled “Christian” teachings we are blinded from the Truth of Gods word.  His ways are made clear with the Holy Spirit because He is the teacher who brings us back to the Fathers Holy Ways.

We all have a choice in this life – but we only have two choices – one leads to life and the other to death.

Following God’s way leads to Life and more abundantly

Not following Gods way leads to death and destruction and false teachings, false lives, sickness and disease, mental health issues on a magnitude that looking at history it has seriously got worse in this last century – the century that has chosen to reject God and His teachings.

We are very fortunate that there have been a people who have been seeking to keep the Commandments and the teachings and there area  few who are looking to bring Gods Truth to the people – not in standing of soap boxes in the middle of parks but in the quietness of living their lives according to God’s teachings.  Setting us examples for us to follow.  We are in need of real teachers of the Way of God – Teachers who can really give us the full picture and not just part.  Men and women who are inspired by the Holy Spirit and who have accepted the Messiah as their King and Lord.  These people we can have confidence in for it is these people who are being led back to teach us how to walk in the True Path of Righteousness – not just by saying it but by living the Way.  The Way that Yeshua taught His disciples and the people around him. 

For me, spending time in the Word of God – discovering the Way that the disciples and Yeshua/Jesus lived inspires me to live the same.  Forsaking all other teachings – just to come back to the basic principles that God gave Moses and the Prophets – the very same prophets that Yeshua/Jesus speaks about. 

These are people who walked with Yeshua/Jesus and ate with Jesus and prayed with Jesus – bearing in mind that Yeshua/Jesus was in the beginning with God and say Satan fall from the sky when he was thrown out of heaven because of his rebellion against the most high.

We need to come back to the Word of God and really ask the question How do we live like God wanted us to live in order for us to have abundant lives.  How can we really achieve the goals that Paul and Peter speaks of. 

Ecclesiastes – says it very clearly at the end of his teaching – Trust God and obey Gods commandments – this is the best we can do in order to achieve an abundant and fulfilled life.

Join me in the quest to find the way back to the Father  

            

Higher Power – Unknown God

Complete Jewish Bible-OE

Ephesians 2

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

2 You used to be dead because of your sins and acts of disobedience. ² You walked in the ways of the ‘olam hazeh and obeyed the Ruler of the Powers of the Air, who is still at work among the disobedient. ³ Indeed, we all once lived this way — we followed the passions of our old nature and obeyed the wishes of our old nature and our own thoughts. In our natural condition we were headed for God’s wrath, just like everyone else.

⁴ But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love ⁵ that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah — it is by grace that you have been delivered. ⁶ That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven, ⁷ in order to exhibit in the ages to come how infinitely rich is his grace, how great is his kindness toward us who are united with the Messiah Yeshua. ⁸ For you have been delivered by grace through trusting, and even this is not your accomplishment but God’s gift. ⁹ You were not delivered by your own actions; therefore no one should boast. ¹⁰ For we are of God’s making, created in union with the Messiah Yeshua for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do.

¹¹ Therefore, remember your former state: you Gentiles by birth — called the Uncircumcised by those who, merely because of an operation on their flesh, are called the Circumcised — ¹² at that time had no Messiah. You were estranged from the national life of Isra’el. You were foreigners to the covenants embodying God’s promise. You were in this world without hope and without God.

¹³ But now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah’s blood. ¹⁴ For he himself is our shalom — he has made us both one and has broken down the m’chitzahwhich divided us ¹⁵ by destroying in his own body the enmity occasioned by the Torah, with its commands set forth in the form of ordinances. He did this in order to create in union with himself from the two groups a single new humanity and thus make shalom, ¹⁶ and in order to reconcile to God both in a single body by being executed on a stake as a criminal and thus in himself killing that enmity.

¹⁷ Also, when he came, he announced as Good News shalom to you far off and shalom to those nearby,^[a] 18 news that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ So then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers. On the contrary, you are fellow-citizens with God’s people and members of God’s family. ²⁰ You have been built on the foundation of the emissaries and the prophets, with the cornerstone being Yeshua the Messiah himself. ²¹ In union with him the whole building is held together, and it is growing into a holy temple in union with the Lord.²² Yes, in union with him, you yourselves are being built together into a spiritual dwelling-place for God!

Isaiah 57

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

57 The righteous person perishes,
and nobody gives it a thought.
Godly men are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous person is taken away
from the evil yet to come.
² Yes, those who live uprightly
will have peace as they rest on their couches.

³ “But you, you witches’ children, come here,
you spawn of adulterers and whores!
⁴ Whom are you making fun of?
At whom are you laughing and sticking out your tongue?
Aren’t you rebellious children,
just a brood of liars?
⁵ You go into heat among the oak trees,
under every spreading tree.
You kill the children in the valleys
under the cracks in the rocks.
⁶ Your place is among the smooth stones in the vadi;
these, these are what you deserve;
you pour out drink offerings to them,
you offer grain offerings to them.
Should I calmly ignore these things?
⁷ You set up your bed on a high, lofty mountain;
you also went up there to offer sacrifices.
⁸ Behind door and doorpost
you set up your [lewd] memorial;
then, far from me, you uncovered your bed,
climbed up on it and opened it wide,
made an agreement with some of them,
whose bed you loved when you saw their hand beckoning.
⁹ You went to the king with scented oil;
you added to your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far away,
even down to Sh’ol.
¹⁰ Though worn out by so much travel,
you did not say, ‘All hope is gone’;
rather, finding your strength renewed,
you did not grow weak.
¹¹ Of whom have you been so afraid,
so fearful that you lied?
But me you don’t remember,
you don’t give me a thought!
I have held my peace so long
that you no longer fear me.
¹² I will expose your [so-called] ‘righteousness’;
and what you have done won’t help you.
¹³ When you cry, will those [idols] you gathered rescue you?
The wind will carry them all away,
a puff of air will take them off.
But whoever takes refuge in me will possess
the land and inherit my holy mountain.”

¹⁴ Then he will say,

“Keep building! Keep building! Clear the way!
Remove everything blocking my people’s path!”
¹⁵ For thus says the High, Exalted One
who lives forever, whose name is Holy:
“I live in the high and holy place
but also with the broken and humble,
in order to revive the spirit of the humble
and revive the hearts of the broken ones.
¹⁶ For I will not fight them forever
or always nurse my anger;
otherwise their spirits would faint before me,
the creatures I myself have made.
¹⁷ It was because of their flagrant greed
that I was angry and struck them;
I hid myself and was angry,
but they continued on their own rebellious way.
¹⁸ I have seen their ways, and I will heal them;
I will lead them and give comfort
to them and to those who mourn for them —
¹⁹ I will create the right words:
‘Shalom shalom to those far off
and to those nearby!’ says Adonai;
‘I will heal them!’”

²⁰ But the wicked are like the restless sea —
unable to be still,
its waters toss up mud and dirt.
²¹ There is no shalom, says my God,
for the wicked.

Higher Power – Unknown God

People often say that they are meditating – taking time to get in touch with a “higher power”.  There is no higher power than the Creator of the Universe – in a word God.

There is no other way we can be saved and transformed lest it by the way – Yeshua/Jesus. The Messiah – Saviour of all mankind.  The purpose of his coming to dwell with us as a human being and dying for us was to show us a way back to the Creator God – our Heavenly Father.

I hear people say – there are many religions – I am not speaking of religion – I am speaking of a spiritual awakening to God Creator – through His Word all things came into being.

There is no greater joy than to look around at the amazing planet we call home and see such wonderful sights, mountains, rivers, trees, birds, flowers in fact all creation would not be here if it had not been first spoken out by God Creator – King of the Universe

Yet people seem to be afraid to acknowledge God creator – they will talk to spirit guides, and go to so called spirit mediums, necromancers, fortune tellers, seers, crystals readings, rather than go to the Source of all creation – God Himself.  Yet the mere mention of God the Father and Jesus his precious Son who is able to heal the sick, raise the dead, transform your lives is scorned and ridiculed yet – for me the clarity I have from following the way of Jesus and coming back to the Father is very clear.

I do not smoke, I do not drink, or take drugs of any kind, not do I need to go to a psychiatrist because I came to the father and laid all my life, desires, pain and suffering at his feet and asked him to transform me from within.

At the beginning of my walk before my close encounter with God the Father, I too believed in a Supreme being – a higher power – yet when God healed me and showed me how I may go on in life without fear and anxiety – just by confessing to Him all my heartaches and worries.  I began a journey of incredible blessing. God showed me through His word, history, geography and geology just how powerful God is.  How He formed the universe, created this planet for us and how he designed us and gave us life.

How involved He is with every detail of your life as you let him in to teach you personally.  How you can trust Him – There is no ill side effects when you Trust in God to take care of you as you walk in obedience to his teachings.

It is as you open up your heart and mind and accept Yeshua/Jesus the Saviour of Mankind as the True Son of the Living God and healer of all that you really can start to know what it is to be truly alive.  Everything you see and touch takes on a new aspect.  You look around you and marvel at the diversity of life.  The amazing formations of the mountains,  rivers, seas in fact all of creation.  No man,  nor fallen angel could do such things.

The King of the Universe, creator of live is the Only one who can give you the gift of Peace, joy and happiness, contentment.  Because He designed mankind to be at one with Himself, and that He had provided all for our pleasure and in doing so as he watches His sons and daughters enjoying the gifts he has bestowed  and thanking Him for every breath that they take – it gives Him pleasure.

However, when we look to seek a lesser place, worship -  man,  fallen angels, and seek a different path then there is a clearly a distinction in the lives of people – fear, wars, battles in the mind, mental illness, flesh rotting diseases, in fact all that God had said would come on Mankind because the choose to live without Him in their lives.  Yet each person has within them the need to search – everyone is looking, but not able to find what they are looking for until they Return to the Father of Creation.  Then all things are revealed and once again you feel connected to all that surrounds you – your reverence to all life becomes heightened.  The joy of watching birds in the sky, fish in the sea – rivers, even you can enjoy a moment of observing insects and through acknowledging their total dependency on God Creator to provide for them, you come to realise you too can depend on God to provide for you it is a matter of Trust.

When Christ was in the garden on the eve of his betrayal and crucifixion – as a man do you not think he was afraid of the following day’s events. As the Son of God he knows how we all feel – he could have chosen not to obey God’s desire to hang him the cross for the salvation of mankind.  Therefore through His obedience Yeshua/Jesus gave us a way back to the Father through laying down his life for us.  Raising from the dead so that we may have eternal life with Him.  He being the life giver the restorer of life to all mankind to those who would choose to obey and follow in the footsteps of Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah.  At the end of the day all mankind will bow down and tongues will confess that Yeshua/Jesus is Lord. 

The way forward is to acknowledge your unbelief, repenting of your sins, lifestyle choices and learning to live under the mantle of the Creator is the only way to true peace, contentment, happiness and joy.

As we share with each other we grow together in love and unity.

God called us to love one another, to help one another.

He gave His life for us to be able restore us back to the Father.  Without Yeshua/Jesus there is no Power for in His Name all Power and Authority is Given to set the captives free and heal the sick and restore the sight of the blind, raise the dead in His name.  In His name there is power to transform your life.

Forgiving one another as he has forgiven us. 

Learning to Trust in His Words, His promises, His way of life and Peace.

Laying down your learnt traditions of man, just come sit at the feet of the Throne of God and learn to live again.

Feeling a mantle of peace being placed on your shoulders as you open up to Yeshua/Jesus .  Peace that no matter what goes on around you – cannot be taken from you - unless you choose not to Trust.

To have the Words of comfort to know that each burden, worry, anxiety, stress, fear can be lifted from you as you reach out and ask Yeshua/Jesus into your life – only in this way can you really begin to feel a great sense of peace and freedom.

Fear is a mind killer – to carry such is dangerous to your health – yet giving each fear to Yeshua/Jesus/God it can be lifted and you will begin to receive an understanding that no matter what is happening around you.  You can trust that God knows your every need, and in well able to supply al your needs as they are in accordance to God’s will for your life.

No matter whether your life has been filled with drink, drugs, fear.  Gods is able to restore you as you surrender to God – the Highest Power in the Universe,  there is no other Higher Power than God, creator of all life, planets, stars, water, land us.  Even so to follow lesser than the highest is utter foolishness because they cannot deliver you. As you turn to him.  As you ask God to reveal himself to you – as you start to reach out and ask for help – He is there for you, just waiting to heal, bless and restore you.

For me, there is no greater power than God. He healed me, I follow in His teachings, He keeps me safe and teaches me the way of peace, joy and salvation.

There is o other way except though Yeshua/Jesus for True Salvation, Transformation.  At the Name of Yeshua/Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess that He Is LORD – through Him there is LIFE

Have You Seen the Future?

London Calling: Rod King

The year 2012 has been a remarkable year for Great Britain. Many events have taken place that have turned the year into a veritable cavalcade of special moments. The Shakespeare World Festival at Stratford-upon-Avon, for example, was followed by Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, with a spectacular display of craft on the River Thames, and hundreds of celebrations around Great Britain and the Commonwealth. Wimbledon’s Grand Slam tennis championship came soon after, which, together with other notable sporting events, culminated in the “greatest show on earth”—the 2012 Olympic Games held in the redeveloped East London Docks area.

What made the Olympics extra-special for many was the introduction of several technological improvements by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). This included: 3D broadcasts covering some 230 hours of events; 24 channels of live video using HD “chunked streaming” beamed to television, Internet, tablet computers and smart phones. A new live Interactive Video Player was specially introduced. Remote robotic cameras controlled by laptops were used to capture photos from unique vantage points around the Olympic Park. All this contributed to the viewing pleasure of some four billion people.

Amid all this, perhaps the most remarkable development was seen by just a few. The BBC showcased the next generation of television technology to selected audiences in the UK, Japan and America. Known as Ultra High Definition television or Super Hi-Vision (SHV), it is a joint venture between Nippon Hoso Kyokai (NHK)—the Japan Broadcasting Corporation—and the BBC. Tim Plyming, the BBC’s Project Leader for SHV, wrote on his blog that, “The London 2012 Olympics will be the first time [this] ground-breaking technology will be used to deliver exceptional quality content in the UK.”

More Than the Eye Can See

NHK’s engineers have developed the only three SHV cameras in existence, which enabled them to work with the BBC’s test studios in central London to provide the first working opportunity of the SHV system to an international audience.

These new cameras produce a level of detail 16 times greater than High Definition (or 7,680 by 4,320 pixels). And whereas sound for most HD television uses a 5.1 multichannel system, the new technology boosts the sound to a mighty 22.2 multichannel, 3-dimensional audio system. In the BBC theatre, three layers of speakers were strategically placed around the room—an upper layer of nine channels, a middle layer of ten channels and a lower one of three. It was not just surround sound; it was total sound immersion!

The technology is so impressive that it reaches the limits of what the human eye is capable of absorbing. The sharpness of the images and the wide field of view (100 degrees instead of 30 degrees for HD) is so embracing it is as if the viewer is right there in real life; if you walk up to it and look at it close-up, there is little or no blurring or pixilation. It is stunning!

At the SHV demonstration, I asked Mr. Plyming how soon we can expect to see this new technology in people’s homes. NHK began their work in 1995, so one might expect it to be soon—but, according to Mr. Plyming, it could still be ten years away.

I asked what applications it could be put to, and was told that the medical world especially can use it to televise live operations to teaching hospitals. The highly detailed images would allow students around the world to observe the finest of medical procedures. The benefits to education would also be profound.

Also present at the screening was NHK’s principal research engineer Yuichi Kusakabe. He told me that there are others working with different technologies. But, from what I saw, this one will be hard to beat.

Using the Olympics for television breakthroughs is not new. The 1948 London Games gave the BBC its first trial of outdoor broadcasting, while the 1964 Tokyo Olympics ushered in colour television around the world. High Definition Digital (HDD) television, which replaced the analogue system, was initially trialed at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, though it took another 20 years for it to come into commercial production.

The Real Tomorrow’s World Future

It is perhaps somewhat ironic that one of the BBC’s most successful and long-lasting television programmes on science and technology was called Tomorrow’s World. From the 1970s to the 1990s, it gained a wide and enthusiastic following, with a high at one time of 10 million viewers per week, before the BBC put an end to the programme in 2003—four years after our Tomorrow’s World telecast went on the air in the United States. It was just three years later that our telecast, devoted to proclaiming the Bible’s spiritual message, was aired for the first time on SKY channel 590 here in the UK. The Gospel Channel Europe was the first to carry our programme here, and continues to do so on Monday nights at 7:00 p.m. It can also be viewed on Sky 596 on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and Sky 591 on Wednesday at 6:00 a.m. If you have a Roku box (learn more at www.roku.com), you can watch the programme on your television set whenever you want, and you can always watch it on our Web site at TomorrowsWorld.org.

In many ways, our Tomorrow’s World programme shares an excitement regarding the future not unlike what Plyming and his team exude, but our emphasis is different because of what we know from Scripture. We proclaim a world of moral excellence and godly character that must lie behind the development of the kind of technologies that advance and benefit society. We understand from Scripture that Jesus Christ, the Creator of all that is around us (Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16), will return to this earth to transform the spirit and mind of man. The spirit of this world—which includes vanity, competition, pride and iniquity—will be dramatically changed. That fundamental change will impact all areas of human endeavor, including science and technology. In the Kingdom of God, only those developments that positively affect human progress will move forward. Those devoted to war and destruction will become a thing of the past.

The Bible tells us that in the coming Kingdom of God, God’s perfect law of love—as exemplified by the Ten Commandments given to Moses on stone—will be written on the very hearts and minds of all human beings (2 Corinthians 3:2–3). God tells us, “I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them” (Hebrews 10:16). A change will take place in human minds that will bring about a profound realignment of thoughts and actions. With Satan the devil bound and chained, his evil influence will be put away. Anger will give way to abiding love; greed and envy will be replaced by generosity and praise for others. Children will play safely and workers will be paid an honest wage for their work—with profligate bankers’ bonuses, for example, a thing of the past.

Will there be room for SHV’s television technology, or something like it, in our future? Who can say otherwise? God is not against the marvelous discoveries of the human mind. He does, however, have a problem with how many of these inventions are put to a wrong use in this present evil age (Galatians 1:4).

Leviticus - Gods priniciples for living

Restoration: Returning the Torah of God to the Disciples of Jesus

Running Against the Wind

Complete Jewish Bible-OE

Have you ever wondered where we get our basic moral thinking from.  Today I have been reading Leviticus and have been amazed at the way God was and is involved in our lives.  Without a lot of Gods prinicples medicine would not be where it is today, nor would there be a basic moral compass.

We have a lot to thank our believing forefathers who choose to live according to His word and build our nations laws with the basics from the Commandments of God.

I have today been reading how the priests in the tent of meeting under Moses direction were given instructions on how to discern when a disease of the body was in fact infectious or not, whether there was any real danger to the whole community, the way that it was dealt with was very simple and yet very effective.

When someone discovered they had a rash or blister or sore on their body they were to present themselves to the priests who after examination could determine the right course of action - after giving the person quarantine for several days they could reexamine the infected area it it spread that person was maintained in quarantine and it was very effective, if a house was contaminated they also took action regarding the contaminated area of the property and dealt with it swiftly again after much scruitny. Today - you can present yourself to the Dr yet he may or maynot recognise what is wrong - and as for putting people in quarantine when they not sure - they put them in to hospital beds usually amongst other patients until they can determine if it is contagious or not - this happened to my husband when he was in hospital - the person in the next bed came in with an unknown and then when it was discovered he had something that potentially could be contagious they removed him from the ward - yet while he had been on the ward he could have infected more people including the staff - so not much common sense is going on in the hospitals then, you can see this by the spread of various diseases that frequently shut hospitals to outsiders during an outbreak of one kind or another - I used to work at Walsgrave hospital and was increasingly alarmed at the rise of Cdif and Novovirus which spread like wildfire - so I stopped working at the hospital - as at the time my husband was working at the university of Coventry and therefore if I picked up something and brought it home it would then have easy access to much more people through my husband. 

People today do not seem to be aware of the need to be clean before entering into a hosptial - I have seen some sights in my time. No wonder the problems persist.  It is not only the out patients nor the visitors that put others at risk it is  the medical staff themselves with their lack of care and attention to their uniforms - espcially the nursing staff - who frequently wear their uniforms on buses and in public places which are putting themselves and others at risk.  Long gone have the matrons of the wards who would be watching for any discrepencies in their nurses behaviour.  Now it does not seem to matter what people wear when they are coming into hospital.  There is not the same due diligence about the uniforms at all - in the past it would not be considered proper for a nurse to be seen out on the streets in their uniforms unless they were district nurses - in which case there was a different criteria of dress code. 

Today, even if you go to work with a cold or flu - people do not seem to consider it worth their while staying off because of the risk of losing their jobs, yet are quite unaware of the dangers of spreading potentially dangerous viruses within the communities at large.  You can see the devestating effects of the Spanish Flu epidemic and also the bird flu not long ago - because people are not willing to stay away from their precious jobs - yet if people start dying then there is suddenly an uproar on how do we contain the epidemic - you can see what happened during the recent years of bird flu - cross country contamination is widespread a disease can spread from one side of the world to the next with in hours - so do not think we live in such enlightened times.  People do not care about whether the illness they have could cause others to get sick.  They sometimes do not present themselves to anyone until it is almost too late, then there is the panic to control diseases, look at legionnaires disease airbourne - brought in by others from overseas taken into buildings spreads like wild fire - again shutting down business and hospitals.  There must come a point in each persons life to recognise that we are all responsible to each other - we need to take care if we are not feeling well to seek advice from whomever they would seek advice from. 

For me I would go to God and ask Him to show me why I am feeling bad - if it is something that can be dealt with quickly. For me I have suffered in my body from diverse difficulties, I had in the early 90's picked up Hepititus A which is not a killer - but it does not have any true medical antidotes - your body has to get rid of it by itself - over time, but during the worse of it I went jaundiced and could have died - yet did not - during the time I had seen the Drs yet they could give me nothing to ease the situation  So I spent a lot of my time in prayer and seeking God for help as I was unable to eat anything for months I lived on water - I was so ill my daughter thought she was going to loose me.  Only God could pull me through.  I was in agony with the pain and the sweats and freezing cold that you get with this dreadful disease (it is when your liver becomes infected), I was even concerned that I would die, but I also knew that God would not take me if it was not my time.  Hence I am still here.

My husband at the time was a junkie - he used the needle for doing his habit  - his reaction was to stick another needle into his body - and get relief from watching me suffer - yet even he could not believe that it was me who was suffering so much when it was he who was being so deliberately selfish with his actions.  He did not get sick - yet here I was lying in my bed with something that stopped me functioning as a person for months - it was about 6 months that I suffered with this disease - not able to eat - yet somehow was coming thruogh with prayer and somehow I know that God was pulling me through - I knew that I was suffering because I had chosen a path of life that was not right for me, I had deliberately married a man I should not have married - God does make it abundatly clear that if you choose a path that is against Gods design for your life you will pay the price - even with your own life - for me that was a stark warning - and I had to suffer the consequences of my deliberate disobedience for a few more years until I fully understood what was wrong with my way of life.  My husband never did change his lifestyle and is still in the same lifestyle - still alive in his misery and that is his choice.

For me, I had to leave and get my life sorted out with God and back into the path of His choosing.  For me that meant rediscovering my walk with God and returning to His Word to discover what I was doing wrong.  I learned alot about Trusting God to pull me through many a dark moment - yet all the time He has been leading me on to this moment where I really do start to take seriously what He has called me to do, that is to bring comfort to others.

In my journey as a believer in Yeshua/Jesus Christ - I have learned many things,  The most important to me is that when reading the scriptures of what Yeshua taught - he was teaching people from the Scriptures which were to a lot of people they understand it as the Old Testament - yet when you read the "old testament" you can see that you can find God there and how He and His power turned the lives of Israel around - He showed His love and mercy and also His strength that when people would do things that were contrary to what He had said they invariable paid with their lives.

He gave a warning to the people of Israel - this is the group of people whom He choose to be lighthouses in the world - these are the people He uses to teach other nations what it is to be faithful and what happens when a nation refuses to be faithful and obey His ruling and teaching.  The Israelites thoughout all of history have been a lighthouse - a barometer if you like for how God will and does treat nations.

Israel was given the command not to go seeking how other nations lived, and practice their religion - yet Israel on several occasions did just that and when they did they were sent into exile - yet each time there would be someone who would be looking for God and His ways and bring the people back to God again - and then Israel would enter a time of blessing - Israel was told not to seek after the ways of other nations - not to defile their lives living promisciously with fornication, debauchry nor lusting after other gods.  Yet they did and as God had showed them that the nations that they had been sent into - God was clearing them out of the way because of their behaviour - look at Sodom and Gomorrah for one example.  He said the the land would spew the people out - in fact it says the land will vomit the people out of the land - because of the defiling behaviour.

In todays society I look around and see that the very things that God had said in Leviticus regarding relationships with men and women, man and man, man with animals, women with animals, even their depraved sexual appetites - men sleeping with their nearest relatives - their daughters, nieces, nephews, women sleeping with their sons, cousins, nephews, brothers.  Throughout history this has gone on - you can look at the time of the Cesars - you can see insatiable appetite to seek sexual pleasures in diverse ways.  The Greeks and Romans with their homosexuallity - seen at that time as normal - yet in God sight is not normal.  In fact God says it is an abomination - when nations choose to incorporate laws to suggest that it is right for homosexuals to marry - then you can see from the recent events in history - from the very time when governments agreed to this propostious decison it is when the governments of the world started to suffer with the financial breakdown, and the storms and volcanic erruptions and earthquakes have increased.

Yet mankind chooses to ignore these signs and perversely continues on the path of mass destruction - when are people going to wake up and see that while we insist on behaving worse than animals to each other and behave as if nothing really matters because who cares who gets hurt.

When people treat each other with disdain and disregard life and treat it as cheap - that humanbeings are expendible, does it not show just how far away we have become from being civilised.

Civilisations in the past have risen and fallen at Gods Command - you can see that in the dream of Nebecanezzer - with the statue which was made up of many civilisation - his being the head of gold - Bablyon and all the others were lesser and lesser right up to day - were we could be at the toes of the civilisation - a mixture of clay and iron - yet even so the Stone that mankind has choosen to throw out is the very Stone that will bring this so called civilised world to its knees.  (book of Daniel)

God made it very clear in Deuteronomy that if people will refuse to believe in Him and refuse to live the Lifestyle that God has laid out before mankind then they would be led into believing a dreadful fatal lie - which is what has happened.  Disregarding God, dismissing God out of our thoughts and ways we have actually written our own death warrant. 

God does not mess about, His word never changes - even Yeshua/Jesus Chrsit makes that very clear - that not one jot nor title will pass away - that nothing of Gods Commands are thrown away or changed in fact when the Messiah returns we shall all be called to live by Gods Commands and His teaching and His feast days.  Not like today where it is perfectly ok to celebrate halloween and christmas - which are both pagan festivals.  Nothing to do with God at all.  We bring our children up to believe in half truths and wonder why they are in such a mess.

As a child I can remember going to Sunday school and celebrating halloween - that is because that was considered to be ok, it was the way it was - as the teaching were not checked.

For me, the more I look at Gods Word and His feast days and recognise the Power in His word and recognise the folly of following anything other than God to me there is only one direction that these sad teaching of the world will lead the people - as Yeshua/Jesus Christ said the blind leading the blind and both will fall into the ditch - is it not time for you to open your Bibles and seek out HOW TO REALLY SERVE THE LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL for we all who claim to be believers in His precious Son really do need to learn from God himself.

On learning about incestuous behaviour being marked out very clearly in the Bible and seeking to understand how Gods word applies today I can see that God said that the consequences of such activity could result in many things coming to pass not least death.  You can see from history in local small farm communities where there has been such activities, the deformaties, death toll and mental deficiency that occurs.  Look at the horrendous act that was perpetrated by that father that kept his daughter locked up and having children by her - and on discovery the shame and horror of it came out. 

For us as a society in order for us to move forward to have any semblence of possible prosperity it is time to recognise that God is in Heaven and His is most definitely in charge of events.  Even the disaters that are befallen on the earth - after all He said it would happen and the reason for it was because man has turned their back on God. 

Time is running out - you can see for yourself as you look in the news papers, news programmes and events that are happening on the earth - there is a definite move happening. 

It is time to wake up - stop burying your head in the sand and hoping it will all go away, the only way it will go away is when people start to REPENT AND TURN BACK TO THE FATHER.

By living God's way, keeping His Commandments, His teachings - the morale compass of the world would be a much different place.  We would be living in peace with one another, we would be having no sickness and disease - that is Gods promise that we would be living in a time of peace and He would be governing our planet.  That is an amazing thought and hope. 

For me, it is not a fairytale because I have experienced Gods powerful hand in my life.  Now I choose to live according to His teachings, seeking out how to live the life.  Not just by reading the scriptures but by applying them into my own way of thinking.

No wonder God says seek you first the Kingdom of heaven, well in seeking the Kingdom of heaven you learn about His laws and His teachings.  You come back to the beginning and start to ask God questions about where it is all going and what is it all about.  For me it has been amazing discovery. 

Even in one person who reads this agrees and chooses to read the scriptures to check out what I have been saying is right then that is one more than yesterday.

I do not give you quotation - I give you whole books such as Leviticus and all its chapters - in the Word of God there is a the answers for life itself.

The Word of God shows that there is right way to life and a way to death.  God give mankind a choice.  He gave us freewill to choose the path we want to take.  However He also has a plan for your life - which hopefully you will choose to follow Him.  God is the one that opens the eyes of the blind - not just physically but spiritually too.  Yeshua/Jesus Christ himself said - no man can come to the father unless he come through Him - Yeshua/Jesus Chrsit - yet no man can come to Yeshua/Jesus Christ unless God is drawing him/her.  So you see - there does come a time in your life where you will be given an opportunity to seek how to live, calling on Yeshua/Jesus Christ is just the first step, as the gift of the Holy Spirit who is a revealler of all truths and teacher will start to give you and urge and desire to discover more. 

You can look at Gods laws as boundaries God has set before us as objectives to achieve.  I am at the moment teaching my dog boundaries as what she can and cannot do for her own benefit, God has given us the Laws and Teachings for our benefit to help mankind live in a better way with each other afterall we all come from the same source.  Whether you believe in Adam and Eve or whether you believe we come from green algae - we have all come from the same souce initially God Himself - for without His Word none of this would be in existence anyway.

What are Gods Laws and why should we obey them?

The Messianic Legacy

Introduction to Messianic Judaism: Its Ecclesial Context and Biblical Foundations

Messianic Prophecies in Historical Succession (Classic Reprint)

God's Appointed Customs: A Messianic Jewish Guide to the Biblical Lifecycle and Lifestyle


For me this is a question of understanding in the first place what it is that God told us as mankind to follow.  He gave the Commandments to Moses but even before Moses, Abraham was already following Gods Commandments to live an obedient life according to Gods ways.

We can see even at the beginning of Genesis that God already had the laws already established for us to follow.

We can see that when he created man and woman that they should be together as one to be able to bring forth a Godly seed.

We can see by the behaviours of Cain and Able that there was already the law of murder and life and treating each other with respect was already in operation - God made it very clear in the Garden of Eden that Man and Woman were to Obey His Word. 

God created them and God gave them commands to live by even at that stage.  He even gave them the first Sabbath to follow - when after he had completed his work of creation and development and saw that it was good He took a day of Rest which is the Sabbath - which in Genesis is already established.

By the time we get to Moses God's laws had already been in operation of thousands of years.  When Cain slew Abel and he was cast out to live outside the family he went off and found himself another place to live where there were already people living and joined himself with them - thus we have the beginning of Babylon - along came Nimrod who was disobedient and a fighter and hunter - he is the creator of the so called religions of today.  The ways of thinking which is contrary to Gods teachings.

Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden which was full of lush plants and vegetation and was well able to sustain them.  God gave them a command not to eat of a certain tree - the tree of knowledge - they were not ready to receive the information God was going to impart into them.  But they listened to the Adversary - a fallen angel who himself had once been at Gods side in His court and he the adversary had chosen to rebel against God and try to make himself like God - and tried to over throw God the creator of the universe and all living and breathing creatures on this wonderful planet.

We can already see that murder has entered the scene and disobedience - Therefore when God gave Moses the Spiritual laws - the Ten Commandments which were not just for Israel but for all mankind to live by there had already been mass destructions done towards nations.  You can read in the story of the Noah how people had been so doing their own thing - not giving any respect to each other but rather behaving violently and aggressive and being everything that God had not intended for Mankind that He had to choose to do away with this and started again with Noah and his family brining in a new way of understanding that when we disobey and do not give God the Glory that is due to Him and respect for His handiwork then we can expect destruction. 

We can see in today's way of thinking - rejecting God and His Teachings and His ways that the societies worldwide have gone into massive overkill - and preparing to ultimately wipe ourselves of our own planet,  Not just with weapons of destruction but also by our stripping the lungs of the planet - i.e the forest on the equator which serve as lungs for the whole planet wide.  We are all interdependent on each other and on the very planet itself.  We are not separated from it.  We were in fact created from it.  WE do not respect the ultimate consequences of our actions.  Hence Yeshua/Jesus was sent to reconcile us back to the Father by giving us a clear guideline on how to live.  Yeshua/Jesus himself was a man and was subject to the same teaching and laws as us.  He gave us the laws so we would know how to live in peace and harmony with each other.

The first Commandment is very clear that we should Love the Lord our God with all our hearts and minds and souls.

In other words - we should give him respect for his incredible gift of life and all that we have is from him.  There is nothing on this planet that has not come from Gods hands in the first place.  It is how we choose to use the gifts that God had given to us that we make or break our societies.

He is the Creator of the Universe - that is He created this universe for His pleasure and He created us for His pleasure and for to enoy what He has created and to honour and obey him for in recognition of his greatness and powerful ness.  His awesome gift of Life should be held dear to all mankind.

God gave us such a place as this to call home - for all mankind yet we treat each other with despicable behaviour, we call each  other names - we injury our own minds and hearts when we attack a fellow human being.  God made us to live in peace and harmony with Him and each other.

It is hard to understand why man has chosen to reject the God of the Universe in favour of something that has been created by God.  He took his time to perfect this amazing place for us. Surely we as his creations should turn back to him with gratitude and reverence at the wonderful gift he has bestowed upon us.

Throughout all of history there has been a sequence of events which are clearly recorded in the Word of God.  That when Israel obeyed Gods laws and teaching it prospered therefore it stands to reason that when we Mankind obey God's laws and Teachings then we too would be in a place of peace and prosperity worldwide.

It is sad to think that we as so called believers cannot even get it right to understand the magnitude of God greatness.  His awesome power - he is able to make and break this planet with a word of his command.  He is able to destroy cities, peoples, wipe out completely anything just as he has done in the past, yet people treat this Awesome Powerful God as if he is nothing. 

Did we not see His hand on the planet most recently in our lifetime when the Volcano erupted in Greenland and how it affected the whole of Europe and how when the Tsunamis hit the various parts of the world, also with diverse earthquakes - these are all in Gods hands - He is trying to shake the earth as he said he would to wake the people up from their slumber to make it clear that HE IS IN CONTROL -

We had better start looking more closely at Gods Law and see how they affect us as human beings - I am not talking legalisticaly  here I am talking on a level of one to one relationships with each other and how we should treat each other.

God called us to Honour Him first and foremost - to understand how powerful He really is.
Remember what He did at the time of Moses how he showed his mighty power not just in the destruction of the Pharaoh but also at how He took care of the Israelites and gentiles that were with them in the desert.  How he gave them water to drink and fed them from heaven.  How he opened the sea for them to cross, how he led them by day by cloud and night by fire, did he not show his great mercy and powerfulness for His people.

We are all His people - because He created us all.  it does not matter what colour, race or creed you are God made you and he is leading you to come to understand that there is more going on now at this time.  People have rejected God and His commandments - yet we are all waiting for the Messiah who himself has said that he is going to Rule this planet with Gods commandments so those commandments have not changed nor will they change.

They were given to us as a guideline on how to treat one another and treat God with reverence He deserves.

When we begin to realise the importance of God Spiritual Commandments that they are not just a lists of does and donts - they are about treating man equally and fairly with respect and dignity.

So when we look to God and see just how awesome He is and how he saw fit to create us in his own image then does it not stand to reason that we should treat each other with respect and dignity.

The one commandment people all seem to find difficult to understand is why the Sabbath day is Holy - well lets us look at it - It is the Day God had chosen for a day of rest - from his labours and to sit and enjoy what he had created - he gave it to us as mankind as a day of rest to enjoy the great gifts that God has provided to us, with the forests, flowers, streams, rivers, and our families.  A time of reflection on what God has done, also a time to bring our gifts to the alter and to forgive our neighbours - to bring our troubles to God to ask for wisdom on how to work our troubles out.  It is  a time of great celebration and recognition that God has given us so much and yet we give him so little in return.

He calls us to Honour and obey our parents - Well - look around you - in society today there is not much of that going on - in fact there is an awful lot of dishonour and disrespect happening - rebellion which in the eyes of God is as witchcraft - so we need to ask how can we treat our parents better afteral, the children of today will one day become parents themselves - if they are not taught a standard of living that is appropriate then the way the world is heading is for destruction - already there are signs of this happening all over the world.

Parents are called to teach the children how to behave and to show respect to their elders.  Where has that gone.  Today's parents do not even know where their kids are half the time, they don't know what they are doing, what they are watching, who they are with most of the time.  School has become a joke to a lot of today's children.  There is no discipline in the homes nor in the schools because of the fear of people being chastised for disciplining their young.  There is a difference between discipline and abusing.  I am speaking of encouraging their young to be respectful and kind, thoughtful.  Long gone are the days when there were loads of brownies and cubs, scouts who were being taught life skills.  Today the children run riot in the streets causing great distress and fear in peoples lives.

Parents - need to be more focused on their families than on how much money is coming into the house.  God said he would provide and look after and bless people who are obedient to His ways, so it is about time people started to really look at the way they are bringing up their children - remember these are the future generations who are going to either kill us all or become peacemakers - so it is up to us as parents to teach them good morals, good standards and best of all reverence to God and respect of each other.

We can see that by rejecting Gods laws and teachings society has ended up in a really bad place, there is only one way out of the mess and that is to RETURN TO THE FATHER he said that when people truly repent and come back to him to seek his face he is there for them.  He is not interested in in what you have done it is what you are going to become when you set your mind to follow His path, all you past sins are washed away by the blood of the Lamb (Yeshua/Jesus) so we should show him more respect, than just lip-service - just going to church and prayer meetings does not cut it - you must now take seriously the teachings that Yeshua taught the disciples.  Read your Bible see what Yeshua/Jesus said - you will see that Yeshua himself maintain that we should keep Gods commandments and teachings and follow them.  We say we Follow Yeshua/Jesus then lets us look at the example he gave us - He was obedient even unto death. He kept the laws and commandments he taught in the synagogues the same message as the books of the prophets which all gave the same message RETURN BACK TO THE FATHER AND GIVE UNTO GOD WHAT IS DUE TO HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT AND STATUTES AND LAWS so that all may be well with you.  Prosperity will only come when we are obedient to God.  Health and Wealth are in Gods hands - when we really give our lives to God he will prosper us according to His good will and according to how he sees fit.

If we continue as we have been doing for so long now - ignoring the signs of the times, ignoring God and His power and His way of thinking then chances are if it were not for the very elect sake then this planet and everyone on it is doomed by their own hands and minds and mouths. 

We are the one's who can make a difference by turning back to God and asking him to teach us his ways and leading our lives according to His word then we shall have the opportunity to live the life He has chosen for us. 

For more help in understanding the reason for my speaking so bluntly is available to you for your to make your own mind up.  The Word of God is the answer - in it there is the power of life and death.  Truth and Knowledge. Is that not what all men are seeking.

I have been reading the Word of God and discovering for my self the truth behind the commandments and asking God to guide me and reveal to me the way to life has been a really interesting one.

Family Values

One of the most important books that has for me the best way to bring about true family values has always been the Bible.  No matter what you think, most of today's modern psychiatric foundations is based on some premise of the Word of God.

God had his own idea of family and he created it with a specific plan in mind.
When he created Man in his own image and woman out of man and gave them to each other to love hold, trust and obey he gave them the wonderful gift of able to bring offspring into the world to cherish and nuture.

For me when I have been doing my studies on how to improve my relationships with people around me I always go back to the Book and read what God had said about treating each others fairly and in the same way we would want to be treated ourselves.

I came to the conclusion over the years that in reading what God had to say about family life and values it is up to each individual to ask themselves whether they would be honest in their dealings with their families, some who would agree that not in every way have we been able to show our feelings, emotions, sentiments, sometimes we have shown our anger and our frustration.  We need to take a closer look at what God has said in His Word. 

Ephesians 6 - has always stuck in my mind.when trying to instruct my child the way it should go - here is a clear indication that obedience and encouragement run hand in hand.

Ephesians 6 -
 1) Children, what you should do in union with the Lord is obey your parents, for this is right.
 2) "Honour your father and mother" - this is the first commandment that embodies a promise -
 3) "so that it may go well with you, and you may live long in the Land"
 4) Fathers, do not irritate your children, and make them resentful, instead, raise them with the  Lord's kind of discipline and guidance.

As an adult looking back on my childhood I can see just was not working in my life.  There were times of terror and violence and venomous words which cut deep and stayed with me most of my life.

When we as adults become parents we look round to see just how others are doing it, if you have not had the kind of supportive system you would like to share with your own children it is difficult to understand how to put into practice what you have not received yourself.  For me coming back to my heavenly Father gave me the best teaching ever - not only for my own life but also for the life of my child.  Teaching me to be loving, kind, understanding, thoughtful and ready to discipline when needed was quite a challenge to me.  All the past 30 years I have been aware of my weaknesses and how my former teaching as a child was marred by uncertainty and unclear boundaries, now as as an adult I have been able learn a new path of following God in my journey through life.


Without really understanding the need for boundaries in my life it was difficult to create a boundary for my child to really understand and follow - Only following the Word of God has given me the confidence to face life and all that it has to offer.

For me coming back to the father and learning family values from his word has enabled me to really move on in my life.

When I read the Commandments of God - the ten he gave Moses to start with, I suddenly had my eyes opened to see that if we were as mankind to follow in His footsteps for sure we would be living in a land of peace and harmony with all mankind.

We are all from the same father - the creator of the universe and all that is in it, we all have a spark of God within us therefore it stands to reason that we would all benefit from relearning what God has said about family life.  Not just the unity of man and woman but also how we should bring up our children and teach them to respect their elders, and being kept safe and pure so that there would not be the issue of unwanted babies - abortions, honour killings,   We would not be suffering in society today with battered wives, battered husbands, degenerate children, gangs of youths murdering their neighbours.

There is much to be said when God said to Abraham that he was to be separate from the world around him, to steer clear of the idolatry that was happening in the land he was living in.  Abraham being the father of many nations - and also the one who found honour with God because of his faithfulness to His word.  Yes he too had his off days, but on the whole he did lead a life in obedience and taught his children the same way of life, to live in honour of the father God and honour their parents and each other.  Sadly today we do not see too much of that.  Children are rebellious and their parents are rebellious because that is what they learned from their parents.  Today's society is full of rebellion and witchcraft and idolatry no wonder it would take a miracle of God to change the minds of the people to bring them back to him in all repentance and truth.

For me, the family values taught in the Word of God starting with the Ten Commandments is a must for all mankind, if we are to live in peace.
